Tang Yumeng felt some pain when Lin Chuan bit her, she endured it silently, determined not to make a sound. After a long while, Lin Chuan roughly slid his hand under Tang Yumeng's skirt.

This really scared Tang Yumeng.

"Stop!" Tang Yumeng quickly clenched her legs and said, "We can't do this, this is... this is the City Committee office. Have you gone mad?"

"I'm not mad." Lin Chuan shook his head, saying, "I've made up my mind. I want to have you; I want you to be my woman."

"No. No!" Tang Yumeng struggled, saying, "This cannot happen, absolutely not."

"Why?" Lin Chuan's face looked a bit fierce.

"Lin Chuan, have you forgotten?" Tang Yumeng held Lin Chuan's cheeks with her hands and said, "You said, you said you would marry me before anything happens. We can't do this. Lin Chuan, you can't go back on your word."

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and his mind cleared up a bit.

Knock, knock, knock...

At that moment, Xiao Xue knocked on the door.

"Secretary Tang, President Song from the bank is here," said Xiao Xue.

Tang Yumeng startled, hurriedly sat up, and hurriedly put on her white panties. She was just about to fasten her buttons, only to realize that all the buttons on her shirt had come off, none left. Annoyed, she said, "Damn it, look what you've done, all the buttons on my shirt have come off."

"Go change into another one in the resting room." Lin Chuan laughed and said, "I know you have a spare there."

"Hmph!" Tang Yumeng stood up.

Lin Chuan's gaze fixated on Tang Yumeng's chest, those two trembling mountains incredibly enticing. It's a pity, he could look, touch, but never truly have. This was what irritated and frustrated Lin Chuan the most.

Tang Yumeng hurriedly went into the resting room and changed her clothes.

Soon after, President Song walked in.

Xiao Xue came in, her eyes sharp, and was drawn to some objects on the floor. She quickly knelt down and picked them up. She became a bit puzzled; weren't these buttons? Why would there be buttons in Secretary Tang's office?

Xiao Xue found it strange, but then she remembered, these buttons must be from Secretary Tang's white shirt. However, how could these buttons be here? Xiao Xue looked perplexed and puzzled. She quickly made her way over, only to find that the buttons on Tang Yumeng's white shirt were not missing.

Just as Xiao Xue was feeling puzzled, she immediately realized the crux of the problem. The shirt on Secretary Tang was completely different from the one she wore before. Although the styles were similar, there were still some differences between the two clothes. The previous shirt was plainer. The shirt now on Secretary Tang had some lace around the edges. Thinking of this, Xiao Xue's face turned red immediately.

She seemed to understand that something improper must have happened between Lin Chuan and Secretary Tang in the office just now.

Xiao Xue's face was flushed.

Secretary Tang, acting nonchalant, smiled and said, "President Song, you've arrived."

"Secretary Tang, long time no see." President Song smiled, and when he saw Lin Chuan, he said, "Mr. Lin, long time no see, how have you been?"

"Very good." Lin Chuan shook hands with President Song.

Tang Yumeng said to Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, you... you go ahead, I have some matters to discuss with President Song."

"Okay." Lin Chuan nodded and left the office.

As soon as Lin Chuan left, Xiao Xue also chased after him. She took two steps at a time to catch up with Lin Chuan, then said, "Lin Chuan, stop!"

"What for?" Lin Chuan pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, then looked at Xiao Xue, saying, "What? Do you, little miss, also want a passionate kiss from me?"

"Pah, I'm not interested." Xiao Xue spat lightly and said, "I'm here to confront you."

"Confront me about what?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Look, what is this?" Xiao Xue snorted coldly, then opened her palm. Her hand was beautiful, as white as jade, her five slender and long fingers very attractive. Lin Chuan hurriedly said, "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful hand, if only I could..."

"You!" Xiao Xue glared at Lin Chuan and said, "I'm asking you to look at what's in my hand, where are you looking?"

Lin Chuan was taken aback, finally noticing the several clear buttons in her hand. Lin Chuan puzzledly asked, "What? Your button fell off?"

Saying that, Lin Chuan glanced at Xiao Xue's chest.

Despite looking tender, her breasts were fully developed. Her figure was also very upright, with curves in all the right places. The proud chest also stretched the white shirt open, revealing a glimpse of spring from the gap.

Xiao Xue clutched her chest in fright and cursed, "Bastard, what are you looking at? I'm showing you this button I found in Secretary Tang's office. This is clearly Secretary Tang's button, did you do something despicable?"

"What great deed?" Lin Chuan wickedly asked.

"I..." Xiao Xue gritted her teeth and said, "How would I know what you did? I just know you made Secretary Tang change her shirt. What exactly did you do to her?"

Lin Chuan was stunned, not expecting this girl to be so observant. He chuckled and said, "Indeed, I did something. How about I do to you what I just did to Tang Yumeng inside, how about that?"

Lin Chuan's menacing demeanor terrified Xiao Xue and she ran off without looking back.

"Haha..." Lin Chuan burst into loud laughter.

Furious, Xiao Xue turned her head and cursed, "Lin Chuan, you scoundrel!"

Lin Chuan laughed even more joyously.

Logistics department lounge.

Everyone was busy with their own things. Some were playing cards, some chatting, others playing with their phones. However, there were only about six or seven people in the lounge. The rest had gone out busy. The department leaders all needed vehicles, especially now in November, with the last month of the year approaching, work started to pick up.

How busy the work at the City Committee is could mainly be judged by the drivers in the lounge.

If there are many drivers in the lounge, it means the work is not busy. If there are few drivers in the lounge, it indicates the leaders are all busy.

The moment Lin Chuan stepped into the lounge, Song Wen promptly stood up and said, "Lin Chuan, you're back?"

While speaking, Song Wen hurriedly offered Lin Chuan a cigarette and then, smiling, said, "Haven't seen you in a while, the guys really miss you."

"Cut the crap," Lin Chuan took the cigarette. Song Wen hurriedly lit it for him.

Song Wen added, "It's true, this lounge is less lively without you. It's different when you are here. You wouldn't understand, right?"

"How is it different?" Lin Chuan asked.

"You are now the core figure of our logistics department," Song Wen buttered up while making space for Lin Chuan to sit, saying, "Without you, we are like scattered sand. With you, we are solid as a steel plate. Unbreakable steel."

"Haha!" Lin Chuan burst into laughter, enjoying the feeling of being flattered.

Lin Chuan walked over and sat down next to Luo Guoqing.

Luo Guoqing chuckled and asked, "Where have you been, kid? That was quite some time."

"I was out for a bit," Lin Chuan replied, asking, "Nothing much has happened at the City Committee lately, right?"

"No," Luo Guoqing shook his head, "Vice Secretary Song is now completely suppressed. The roots of his 'big tree' have been almost completely cleaned out, with Secretary Tang controlling the entire officialdom of Jiangbei City. Both the underworld and the upper world have to listen to Secretary Tang. Actually, it's all thanks to you, kid. Secretary Tang should really thank you."

"That's not how you put it," Lin Chuan laughed, "Tang Yumeng is actually a very talented and capable woman. I believe she wouldn't be worse off compared to Song Ming."

"That may be true, but after all, she is just a woman and a woman without powerful backing." Luo Guoqing chuckled, "Without you and your brothers, Tang Yumeng would just be an unaccomplished secretary."

"Maybe," Lin Chuan nodded.

"By the way, recently Qin Dalei seemed to have come looking for Tang Yumeng at the City Committee," Luo Guoqing suddenly said.

"Is that so?" Lin Chuan was taken aback, "What does that guy want with Tang Yumeng?"

"How should I know?" Luo Guoqing shook his head, "I just happened to bump into him last time, that's why I remembered. Maybe it's for official business. Of course, it could also be for Song Ming. But, him coming here, it's mostly for no good."

"Indeed," Lin Chuan nodded, "Qin Dalei has always been a bad egg, his Qin Han Restaurant might look like a restaurant, but it's involved in shady dealings."

"Haha..." Luo Guoqing laughed heartily.

Currently, Qin Han Restaurant could be considered the biggest competitor for the Sichuan University Group. If they don't take down Qin Dalei, the head of Qin Han Restaurant, the days for Sichuan University Group would be tough. Although Lin Chuan has already taken over the east side of the city, there's still a big hurdle in Jiangbei City, and that's Qin Dalei. Qin Dalei's power abroad is tremendously strong. To take down Qin Han Restaurant, one must uproot Qin Dalei's influence completely.

However, from the current situation, Lin Chuan's power is not enough to contend with Qin Dalei. But if speaking solely about Jiangbei City, Qin Dalei's influence might not be as strong as Lin Chuan's.

Sichuan University Group's Feixiang Company.

Coming towards the end of the year, business gradually calmed down. While the gravel site was still crowded, it lacked the passion it had before. Back then, over ten Yunsha trucks would line up from morning till night without break, striving to increase the gravel production, Zhou Kai specifically contacted the shipyard to build two more dredging vessels. Although production increased, demand was still unsatisfied. Sometimes, the drivers would even fight over queue jumping, eventually escalating to brawls.
